Silence fading

The silence fades,

no longer the need to fill with noise.

 I turn to gentle tunes of those singing poetry;

thoughts to melody

wishes

longings

dreams.

In my silence I am reflective and pensive 

Wondering where to journey from here, doubting choices made

and unmade.

Embers burn from a long forgotten dream 

Or a dream that is yet taking form.

Wondering if to tread this well worn path 

even now rocky;

Or to venture to the one not known

but lonely.

Flickering doubt causes hesitation and I long for another with whom to share;

to unburden my heart of  insecurity and loss.

I turn to the melody 

and long for the sea, 

which soothes with it's tides and majesty,

like the steady beat of heart and breath and purpose.

It calls in a whisper from far off and my heart turns towards the call.

To find solace

Strength

Deliverance.
